The way that buildings are made, the materials that are used and the relationships between their spaces, communicates a context of values to those who use them. Our designs for public buildings evolve through understanding the culture of each organisation and their motivations for change in order to develop spaces where different activities overlap; negotiated spaces that bring people into contact with one another. Emphasis is placed on judging these relationships, between formal activities and the informal common spaces that support them.
